Download Lesson: 2.11.24 Class Notes – Mark 12.1-17
LOOK:
The Jewish leadership recognized Jesus’ qualifications as a Teacher/Judge of Israel. They saw Him as one who had integrity, who was not swayed by people (11:32; 12:12), and who was truly teaching God’s way. By using Roman coinage, Jesus’ adversaries witnessed their dependence on that government. Christians should fulfill legitimate responsibilities to their government (Rom. 13:6–7). We bear God’s image (Gen. 1:27) and must fulfill our responsibilities to God.
